(Today is the anniversary of the foundation of the state of Israel. Israel declared independence on May 14th 1948, with a U.N. General Assembly ruling. Following that declaration on the night of 14/15 May, five Arabic countries commenced a military operation against Israel. That led to the beginning of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The Palestinians refer to that day as the “nakbah” or great tragedy. Following the foundation of Israel, 4.5 million Palestinians were made into refugees, and 78% of Palestinian territory has been occupied since 1948.)

The thing to be done is for Palestine, Israel, Egypt and all Muslims to bind themselves to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). For them to bind themselves to the person they call the King Messiah. They have now gradually begun pulling themselves together, returning to religion, in other words. They will now follow a line that will make them fully submitted to and supportive of the King Messiah, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). In that case they will enjoy the greatest worldly peace and joy in those holy lands, which has been foretold for 3,000 years, even since the days of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Insha’Allah, they will also know happiness in the hereafter, since they will be followers of Muhammed (saas). The holy ark of the Prophet Noah (pbuh) will be found, the sacred relics will be found. That tablet referred to in the Qur’an will be found, the manna from that time will be found, the staff of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and many other relics will be unearthed and that will be instrumental in our Jewish brothers coming to faith en masse. The years ahead will be the years of these marvels. Then will come the Reckoning. People may think they will live for a very long time when these signs are made good. Not so. There will be a global reign of seven or nine years, and things will decay. Then the Reckoning will follow very quickly. We are now at the end of the world. It is finished.

Possessing a tract of land in the region is no salvation for Israel. They are now in a wretched state. They are in a wretched state economically, and politically and socially as well. Everyone is hostile to them and against them. They cannot go anywhere. They are not safe. They cannot live easily there. Yet what Allah promises is a climate of peace and joy for the whole region. It is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) who will bring that about. The King Messiah. Moshiach, Shiloh. Insha’Allah, they will say that. But they must pray and look for natural causes to bring it about. Oppressing and despising others is not the way. Inflicting pain through terror is not the way. The way is through love and affection and compassion.

(Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are about to agree to unite their foreign, defense and economic policies. It is being said that other Gulf countries will soon join them. Both countries will maintain their independence and continue to be members of the U.N., insha’Allah.)

Finally, Islamic Unity, a chain of events. Insha’Allah, our brothers will continue to serve with fervor. Almighty Allah is bringing things about within a specific course of events. Almighty Allah has kept all of His promises. Almighty Allah said I will produce two comets in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), one of which will have a double tail; one will be very bright, and the other will travel in the opposite direction to all other comets. Allah kept His promise and produced the comets. He said He would create eclipses of the Sun and Moon, fifteen and three days apart, during the month of Ramadan, and He revealed this to our Prophet (saas). And He kept that promise. Almighty Allah said the waters of the Euphrates would be stopped, and so they were. He said that Iraq would be occupied, He promised that, and so it happened. Because they all came about with wisdom. And all the 5,550 other portents, that people can see on the internet. Then Almighty Allah said I will send My Mahdi. You will not recognize him at first, He said. Not even he will know who he is, He says. But Almighty Allah sets out the signs.

My first forebearer was not Hazrat Hasan, nor Hazrat Hussein. Hazrat Ali had another son called Abu Hanifa, by another wide. I am descended from him. I have sayyid and sharif female ancestors. That is how I am both sayyid and sharif. I have both sayyid and sharif female ancestors in four lines, insha’Allah. My devotion to Hazrat Hasan and Hazrat Hussein comes from there, insha’Allah. But my real ancestor is Abu Hanifa, one of the sons of Hazrat Ali. People may not know that, so let me tell them, insha’Allah.

The 12 imams. Some of our Sunni brothers are reluctant to speak of them. Allah dried up their mouths and tongues. There is a huge love for the ahl al-bayt (People of the House; the family of the Prophet Muhammed (saas)). Previously there was a crazy way of thinking, and they kept their distance from the ahl al-bayt as best they could. Whereas we should be rejoicing. Someone who does not love the ahl al-bayt does not love our Prophet (saas). But, thanks be to Allah, they have been freed from that mindset, insha’Allah.

Look at the world with love. Allah created the world with love. Almighty Allah did not create it to oppress us and throw us into hell. Why should Almighty Allah want to oppress us and make us suffer? “Why should Allah punish you if you are thankful and have faith? Allah is All-Thankful, All-Knowing.”

(Surat an-Nisa’, 147) He wants us to be happy, but He threatens us with hell. Allah says he will throw people into hell and make them suffer if they behave badly. That is why He has created the people of hell; but there is a mercy in that. Something amazing. Almighty Allah says we will think they are alive, but they are not. “They are dead, not alive, and they are not aware of when they will be raised.”

(Surat an-Nahl, 21) He says they are dead, like zombies. This is amazing. You think they look and see. But they do not, He says. He says they are sightless. “We created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts they do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with. They have ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No, they are even further astray! They are the unaware.” (Surat al-A’raf, 179)

In other words, they do not see you, but they appear to see, He says. They do not hear, but they seem to hear, He says. Do not be deceived, says Allah. Do not be deceived by their seeing and hearing, for they are not normal living things, He says. For the sake of comparison, Almighty Allah says they are like animals. But in order that we do not understand, He says they are actually lower than animals. They are very horrible creatures, He says. That is how I have created them, for hell, He says. There is a necessary secret here. Our dying is very comfortable. We do not die in terror. Believers are excellent. Of course there may be pain in death, that is the test. Of course one does not die dancing and with drums and pipes playing. There must be a test. But when the soul is taken there is relaxation. It is taken away easily. But everything would be meaningless without the test.

Many people wonder, what if there were no test? If there were no test, everything would be finished, may Allah forbid. There would be no meaning to anything. Not to love or friendship or life or anything. There would be nothing beautiful. The beauty of women would be meaningless. The beauty of flowers and plants… the universe would be ruined. There has to be a test. Think and you will see. Without it, there would just be a void. The universe would be flat. Mankind would be ruined, may Allah forbid.

Then you have the bigots who say, “Do not use that make of car or drink out of that kind of cup.” Don’t be stupid, my brother. Fedek and everywhere were all in the hands of the unbelievers. Muslims inherited their lands and homes. And they went and lived there. Rasulullah (saas) did not say, this is the home of a pervert. There were lands belonging to the unbelievers at Haybar. Perverse and immoral people. Frauds. But Muslims came into possession of their homes and lands and gardens. But he did not say, “Perverts lived here, so do not make use of this place.” For example, our Prophet (saas) wore a robe from Byzantium. Byzantium was a veritable by-word for cheating and trickery in those days. That is how those perverts behaved. The people who made those hand-made artifacts were those very same perverts. But Rasulullah (saas) still wore it. Why should he not? What crime did those mere objects ever commit? These idiots are trying to limit Muslims’ horizons. The owner of that firm is a pervert. And? Should one not buy his house off him? Why? The owner of this shoe company is a pervert. And? So you must not wear that firm’s shoes. Why not? That is out of the question, you imbecile. Most of the clothes you wear are of that kind.

Surat ar-Rahman; “In them are fruits and date-palms and pomegranates.” (Surat ar-Rahman, 68)

Allah says that there are dates and pomegranates in paradise, the like of which have never been seen before. The pomegranate is bitter, but not in paradise. The dates of paradise are different again, not like the dates here. “So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?” (Surat ar-Rahman, 69)

“In them are sweet, lovely maidens.” (Surat ar-Rahman, 70)

Since it would be meaningless if they were not sweet and lovely, Allah tells us that is how they are. Some women in this world are not sweet-natured so they do not affect people. They just make you uncomfortable. But if she is sweet and attractive, that has a huge impact.

“Dark-eyed, secluded in cool pavilions.” (Surat ar-Rahman, 72)

They live in large tents. They have never engaged in sexual relations. They are still virgins. They are chaste, and have never had illicit relations. Radiant and immaculate women. Your wives alone.

“So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?” (Surat ar-Rahman, 73)

“Untouched before them by either man or jinn.” (Surat ar-Rahman, 74)

Almighty Allah says they have never had sexual relations. He says they are chaste, they have never had sexual relations. They will only enter into sexual relations with their husbands. They will only have lawful relations.

Those quilts and rugs are exceedingly beautiful. They lie with their husbands on lovely rugs, “reclining on… exquisite rugs.” What does one do with one’s lawful beloved. One loves her and lies with her and makes love. Lawful, because the details given here are much more comprehensive regarding the sexuality in paradise.

“So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?

Blessed be the name of your Lord,Master of Majesty and Generosity.” (Surat ar-Rahman, 78-79)

“Reclining on green quilts and exquisite rugs.”

What does this mean? The beds will be wide and large and well maintained. You will lie with your beloved who has never engaged in relations before, says Almighty Allah. She will belong to, and have eyes for you alone. She will look at you with passion and belong to you. She will be as smooth as an egg. In other verses, Allah compares them to pearls. They are well-groomed and beautiful. And there is none of the weakness of this world upon them. For example, there is no blood in their bodies. No bodily fluids, no weakness of any kind. They are highly attractive and immortal. They do not die. Their beauty lives forever.

Allah says, “In them are maidens with eyes for them alone, untouched before them by either man or jinn.” (Surat ar-Rahman, 56)

Allah emphasizes the beauty of a chaste and untouched woman. A woman who has engaged in illicit relations with everyone cannot be beautiful, or affect anyone. The Qur’an emphasizes how only a women who loves her husband alone can be beautiful.

“So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?

Like precious gems of ruby and pearl.” (Surat ar-Rahman, 57-58)

Allah compares them to rubies and pearls. Allah compares their perfect luminosity and beauty to that of pearls and rubies, so people can understand. But they are far more perfect than the rubies and pearls in this world, of course.

“So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?

Will the reward for doing good be anything other than good?” (Surat ar-Rahman, 59-60)

Allah says I will do you good if you do good.

“So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?” (Surat ar-Rahman, 61)

“As well as those two there will be two other Gardens.

So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?

Of deep viridian green.” (Surat ar-Rahman, 62-63-64) as green as can be, the gardens and the vines.

“So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?

In them are two gushing springs.”

(Surat ar-Rahman, 65-66) Endlessly flowing springs delight people. Water has been created such as to delight us, be it a spring, or a river or the ocean. “So which of your Lord’s blessings do you both then deny?”

(Surat ar-Rahman, 67) In this verse, Almighty Allah constantly reiterates that the blessings cannot be denied. To remind one of them in the hereafter, insha’Allah.
